It’s the most wonderful time of the year in the food department! As part of their Christmas Bakery project, our Year 10 GCSE Food Preparation and Nutrition students have ended on a high note making their Gingerbread houses. The quality of the bakes and decorations was excellent. The Gingerbread houses were wrapped so the students could take them home to share with family and friends. Wishing you all a wonderful Christmas.

Design & Technology Super Curriculum submission of the term

Lottie Fellows submitted the following Product Design Super Curriculum Modelling activity this term.

Lottie chose to recreate a lamp she found at home, using old cardboard of different thicknesses and parcel paper. Lottie carefully photographed each step of the process.

Working in an art studio Lottie made a scale model of the lamp. She measured each piece and cut them out using a craft knife and ruler to achieve a sharp, straight line. The pieces were then assembled using a glue gun to stick them together before adding the final touches, like the switch, plug and bolts.

I’m sure you will agree Lottie has done an amazing job and the model lamp is a terrific success.

Year 7 Super Curriculum

April 29, 2022/in Super Curriculum /by Presdales School

During the Easter holidays, all year 7 students completed their second Super Curriculum task in an area of their choice.

The school have provided a wide range of activities for students to complete, and it was fantastic to see such high engagement for all our students in a wide variety of subject areas. Here are just some examples of the high-quality work that has been submitted.

We would encourage Year 7 students to complete as many Super Curriculum tasks as possible, to develop and deepen their learning beyond the classroom. You can find our Super Curriculum google site here. Teachers are currently preparing the Year 8 and 9 tasks ready to launch in September 2022. Watch this space!
